The article is missing probably 90% of the bands that would be on a complete up to the minute list of "prog rock".

It is focused far more on the 70s/early 80s era, and only briefly discusses the descendants and branches from the genre of that era.

Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson, too. "Deadwing" is one of their best work.

It's all prog rock I think, no prog metal.

While true Dream Theatre is prog metal, it's also great evidence that prog rock was not an embarrassing dead end when you have amazing bands like Dream Theater, Animals as Leaders, Devin Townsend, and Between the Buried and Me as their new prog legacy.

If we're going to talk prog metal, someone has to mention the greatest band in that genre of all time - Fates Warning - so I just did.

I would have thought that were the reason but Meshuggah comes up at the end.
